What to Consider About Memory Care in Salt Lake City
With Utah having approximately 31,000 residents age 65+ living with Alzheimer’s disease, Salt Lake City takes part in providing valuable support for seniors with dementia and their families through the University of Utah Center for Alzheimer’s Care, Imaging and Research. The state capital is also home to 10 memory care facilities, and there are 14 more in its surrounding suburbs.

- Despite the snowy winters and hot summers in Salt Lake City, its year-round climate has a Sperling comfort index of 75, which is higher than the national average of 54. The city has more sunny days than the U.S. average, allowing seniors to enjoy sitting and strolling outdoors more often.
- The poor air quality in Salt Lake City-Provo-Orem area is characterized by high amounts of particle and ozone pollution as measured and ranked by the American Lung Association. Loved ones of seniors with respiratory health problems may find this is an important concern.
- Social security income and retirement account withdrawals are fully taxed by the state of Utah, while pensions are partially taxable. However, retirees 65 and over in the state are eligible for a retirement income tax credit of $450, and prescription medicines are tax-free.
